Recent Posts Listing

About the only thing I'd like to see is a listing of the most recent posts;
I suppose due to other MBs I've been a part of over the years, I'm
used to seeing a nice list of let's say, the last topic in each forum
group, or a listing of the last 10 or 20 posts. There is, I
noticed on the frontpage a link to the last 10 posts, but it really
doesn't do it for me; I'd rather see a list of the last posts, within
the context of their own group rather than a page that just shows
the posts themselves. Not complaining, just a suggestion. ;-)

Yes, and I mentioned this in my post. What I'm talking about is when you come to
the frontpage, there is a blurb on each forum group line that tells what the latest
post is, so you don't have to look in each and every group to see if there's been
a new post, or a reply to one you've already made. When you click on the 'Recent
Posts' as you suggest, it just brings up a page with the most recent posts, completely
out of context with regards to their parent posts and their group. I don't even know
if this is possible with YaBB, I just miss it...

Re: Recent Posts Listing

ahhhhh.. I see what you're saying... well, at the moment this is what we've got... I'll take a peek at YABB and see how customizable it is and how hard it would be to add that.

Thanks for your reply; again, I don't even know if this is possible. I have
tinkered with PHP/Nuke in the past on my own system just to get a feel
for it, so obviously I know that if the structure doesnt allow for it, there's
not much you can do about it. Just for the record, I do appreciate all
the effort to run and maintain this website, I think this one little thing
is the only request I can make about the mb, otherwise it's very clean
and has as many features as one would want.

[edit]
I've just realized that on the front page, you can at least see the dates
of the last post or last update, so this in itself is somewhat helpful...

Re: Recent Posts Listing

I'll have to goto BoardMod, it isn't within the system itself, and if I knew perl I'd try to decipher the code, but BoardMod has a lot of modifications for YABB, so hopefully they will have something to the effect of this!
